The goalkeeper made the defiant action towards the press box following his impressive display in the struggling Hammers' 1-0 victory at Upton Park.
Green has come under fire from the media following his blunder during England's World Cup opener against the United States in the summer.
The 30-year-old has not featured for the Three Lions since, losing his spot in the squad for the first two Euro 2012 qualifiers, and his performances for West Ham had suggested he was low on confidence.
Green will be reminded of his responsibilities in a letter from the FA, but no further action will be taken.
Hammers boss Avram Grant defended his keeper after the match, saying: "In football you can perform and then you do not have to say anything.
"I think Rob's performance was his best speech.
"Rob showed (what he can do) on the only place a sportsman needs to show - on the pitch. Not in the papers, not in the media, not with excuses."
